It is important, that mdg finds a default in mdg_dir/players/.

A friend of me(theb@ed209.north.de) has examined the structure of the 
players-file. Here it comes:
-----
name
gold
spells[0] ... spells[12]
spells[13] ... spells[25]
max_hp:hitpoints
max_mp:magicpts
fighting
[loc.sector/home]
lives
time
createpts
al = alignment
-----
These are the fields in a normal player-filed. And here is an example:

-----
wizard
1000
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 
100:0
100:0
0
[0/0]
1
0
0
al = 0
-----

I hope, the author will post a better players-field. 

Money is very important to buy a spell(i think, lihting is good in the
beginning).

ciao, Hermann Behrens
